Does this plugin update image location in wp_posts?

I’ve just tested with 500 images, and it seems like not all subset images (scaled images like -150×150, -300×300…) are migrated all together. Just wonder how the url issue is handled.

I want to migrate like 150,0000 images into 3 different folders to reduce file IO, but would be best served if al subset images are allocated to the same folder, and url is actually changed in wp_posts. Otherwise, dependency to MLF is unavoidable forever.

I checked DB and it seems like attachment’s url is re-written. Great plugin!

Guess people have hard time unwinding all migrations, but this is, I guess, why you have the mgmlp_folders table and the additional reset plugin.

Just wonder if I can remove leftover scaled images manually without any issue.

One other thing. This might be outside of free plugin’s support so you might have to walk on the line to WP Forum’s rule, but if I buy the pro plugin, can I assign images to by posts’ categories?

Since I aggregated all subsites into one big service, I now have a folder that is chunky with media files from everywhere. If I can assign images for each category, I think I can keep the pre-aggregation image structure. Can I set a rule for all future uploaded images so that images are automatically assigned to specified folder?

“Does this plugin actually changes physical image folder locations and url in wp_posts?” Yes, the plugin will attempt to update the links when a file is renamed or moved. This works in most cases, but some premium themes and page builder plugins may store links in a non standard format. We added code to handle such case in the most popular themes and page builders, but we recommend that uses test moving and checking files with embedded links in posts and pages before moving lots of files.

Migrating an image and its thumbnails takes place at the same time according to the list of an image’s thumbnail files stored in the database. There may be instances where some thumbnail sizes are no longer used either as a result of theme changes or updates and these thumbnail images would not be migrated to the new destination. To help address issue like this, our pro version of the plugin includes a maintenance feature that allows site administrators to find and remove orphaned media files.

It was not designed for moving files by category, but it might work.

Also, the other version includes a bulk file move function that works better than the drag and drop method when moving a large number of files.
